It is interesting I think that when people look at the payouts, they can only see what happens in their eyesight. for example, many even now do not follow ocd and see your votes cast through hundreds of unique people weekly. They don't realise that a large portion of what you get either stays in the system or goes out for a little while to buy even more Steem later.

Things are going to change a lot over the coming months here and there are going to be some very disappointed people I think who realise the opportunity they have wasted to get 'free' Steem. I just noiced that in the internal market, it is almost 1:1 again. I powered up a lot of Steem, I wish I had powered up a little more. I am still hoping for some spikes and fallbacks but I am unsure if I will get lucky enough now.

Anyway - don't smoke.
